Tempo
Logic provides several different tools and methods to
create and edit tempo events.
This chapter discusses these tools, and covers the possible interactions between tempo
events and MIDI and Audio Regions.
Display and Functions
Tempo Display
If your song has a tempo that stays the same throughout, you can set this constant
tempo in the Transport window.
The current tempo is always displayed here, even if you’re using programmed tempo
changes or external synchronization.
You can set the tempo display format on the Preferences > Display > Global preferences
page.
Tempo Track
Tempo changes are controlled by tempo events, which are stored in a special Tempo
track. This track can be displayed by choosing View > Global Track Components > Tempo.
The Tempo track applies to the whole song. The tempo track also determines the
relationship between incoming time code and the current song position.
Recording Tempo Changes
Open File > Song Settings > Recording and activate the Allow Tempo Change Recording
checkbox. All tempo alterations made during recording are automatically stored as
tempo events on the Tempo track. These events can be edited in one of the tempo
editors.
